Thus far, there is little evidence to suggest that technology will reduce inequality; indeed it may only intensify inequality. Technology is costly and it is generally impossible to introduce advances to everyone at the same lime. So who gets this access first? As we travel further and further along the electronic frontier through advances such as telecommuting (在家办公) and the Interact, the poor may be isolated from mainstream society in an "information ghetto(贫民窟)"
Drawing on a survey, the Census Bureau (国家调查局) estimated that only 6.8 percent of households earning less than $10 000 had home computers, compared to 61.7 percent of those with incomes of $75 000 or more. This issue goes beyond individual interest or lack of interest in computers.
The technological advances of the present and future may not be equally beneficial to men and women. Many studies have shown that computer games, which serve as an important means of early socialization to computers, typically involve sports or sells associated with the traditional male role. As a result computers camps have become mainly male settings.
Like money, food, and other resources, technology is unevenly distributed within societies and throughout the world. The technology gap is widening rather than narrowing. Although nations are exchanging technical data more freely than before, critical technology transfer is often kept back. The technology exported to developing countries may be poorly suited to the conditions of their economies and workplaces.
选项
A、the strict control of information
B、the rapid technological advances
C、the complete isolation of the poor
D、the existence of mainstream society
答案
B
解析
题干意为“根据作者所说,‘信息贫民窟’是由…引起的”。该题为推理题。由第一段第一句“技术增加了人与人之间的不平等”以及后面讲到的“总是富人先获得使用先进技术的权利”可知,这样不平等是由技术的迅速发展而造成的。
